Thanks.

Forgive me for opening a can of worms, but is anyone concerned if using another person's BB card would cause any tax problems down the road? I do not think there is a 1099 with bluebird, which has been discussed in the past, however, if there was an audit for the other person, they had to provide bank statements, would that involve the BB in their name/ssn? I guess it comes down to if BB is considered a checking acct. If you load money (debit card load, rarely cash) and pay bills and some small spending. I guess it would be an easy explanation. I have never had any tax issues or experience with any of this as a younger dude, but just thinking out-loud. I apologize for my crazy talk and doomsday thinking, if it is..

Thanks
